What would you do if you were me?

Hi Jamie,

[Aleaf]

Hello everyone here:
Today is saturday. Happy weekend! All of your opinions are very instructive to me. Yeah, the unpleasing affair has past for several weeks,and in fact i felt regretful for what i had said to her.
1. Che. Really? Unbelieveable that people feel they are being offened when they are asked to take their shoes off. In china i think it is ok. In fact guests will take off their shoes off without the requirement of the host if they find the floor is shinning or has a carpet covering on it.
BTW.Why do you want to know my age? :)) I am old enough to buy almost everything i want to buy(not including diamonds, house, and car etc. :lol: ) but i won't throw my carpet away because it cost almost a third of my one month's salary.
2. Marxine: hi nice to meet you. thanks for your suggestion. yes i am a person of not so humorous. It is my biggest sorrow.:)) Speaking of reading, sure i like it. These days i am reading some poems. Stray Bird,I Like the Subtle, the Lake of Autaumn. I found poems were so beautiful. What about you?
3. Jamie thanks for your frankness.I think you are a person of very integrity.:))( BTW , the issue on Tibet i don't have further information. But i should say in china if you ask people whether they know Tibetan people are not allowed to go to other places freely.100% people won't believe.I asked people around me , at least nobody believed it.)
4. Conchita. yeah i think maybe she had such problems you have mentioned above. she is a pretty girl so it is normal that she wants to keep a beautiful image. LOL
5. Lost-soul. hehehe in fact when i picked up the image i didn't know where the image came from. I just came across the image in a picture gallary on internet and i felt the guy looks funny. Don't know why i had thought it was an image of chinese . Now after a second thought i think maybe the red suit misled me. Hehehe South Park hasn't been shown officially in china yet.

6. Prez, sure i asked them to take off their shoes and i prepared them slippers.Maybe i should have prepared some socks as well. Just as conchita mentioned maybe her big toes was protruding from a big hole and wiggling happily.

:lol: (i really loved the true-to-life description)

HAPPY WEEKEND EVERYONE!

Hi LS

My experience in Germany was the same: When people are invited to visit, nobody requests that the visitors remove their shoes.

If I visited someone here in the US, and my shoes were particularly dirty for some reason, I would mention this when I arrived and would clean them/take them off without waiting to be requested to do so.

During a very informal visit to someone's house, a visitor sometimes takes off their shoes -- but not because their shoes are particularly dirty, rather because it might be more comfortable for the visitor.

Hi Aleaf,
In my country it is considered indecent when a host openly asks a guest to take the shoes off , unless you are on a good footing with them. I figure a man of good manners must take them off without any reminding, otherwise he is ill-bred. Personally, I would have no courage to give slippers to a guest without his request. I would put up with the situation and tidy up the rooms instead.

P.S. You should have rolled out the red carpet for her instead of... 8)
Above all, to have a white carpet at home is extremely troublesome--every slightest spot is clearly visible. I always buy carpets of dark colours since I don't live alone, if you ask me. :lol:

Carpets maintainance is expensive,and not good for your health,too much mites,......friends are like a brother or sister in a foreign country,they make you laugh,are with you in the best and worst moments of your life,carpets cost,and friends are with you for free!!........Do I need to say something else?...Cris :D
